Travis Scott Astronomical event sets huge new Fortnite player record Epic GamesFortnite has outdone itself once again \u2014 Epic\u2019s battle royale has reportedly shattered its old concurrent player record, as a giant Travis Scott took fans across an Astronomical musical adventure through fire, water, and space. The world\u2019s biggest battle royale never shies away from ambitious in-game events. The title\u2019s original map was blown up by a huge black hole in October. Hollywood franchises like Marvel and Star Wars had their own Fortnite events too. With these mega-events always come huge influxes of players logging in too. Marshmello\u2019s ground-breaking in-game concert enticed over 10 million fans into the game. A year later, it looks like Travis Scott has broken that record again. Astronomical event sets new Fortnite player record According to the Fortnite developers, it was another record-breaking event. Soon after the first of five in-game concerts finished, the minds behind the battle royale magic took to Twitter to reveal just how many players had tuned in. \u201cOver 12.3 million concurrent players participated live in Travis Scott\u2019s Astronomical, an all-time record!\u201d the official account shared on April 23. It was certainly a moment in the title\u2019s history that will never be forgotten. The Houston star appeared on a custom-built stage on the Sweaty Sands island on the dot at 7pm for players in America. The show lasted roughly 15 minutes. Like Marshmello\u2019s game-changing event last year, Scott\u2019s whimsical musical adventure took players through strobe lights, flaming arenas, and even a short journey in space itself. A giant Travis Scott loomed over all for five tracks. Over 12.3 million concurrent players participated live in Travis Scott’s Astronomical, an all-time record!

Scott himself seemed to have loved the event too. The rap superstar took to Twitter just after his Fortnite concert debut, professing his love for the moment. \u201cHonestly, today was one of the most inspiring days\u2026 I know times are weird for us.
